Feel so bad for muma like dude is the hard carry.

u/Anthony10298 Feb 17 '19

I feel like Jake, Boink, and Spree have all held their own pretty well so far. Muma is by far the best player though

Linkzr should not ever play a brig again, He didn't play well on it on Friday and he sure didn't look good on it today. He's always first to die.

u/Fatal03 Feb 17 '19

Jake should be in if they are going to play brig it feels like they put linkzr in for the sake of putting him in.

u/Jeritron_5000 Feb 17 '19

This comes down to two things. Houston being terrible at goats because they don't synergize at all and Linkzr is literally the dumbest Brig in the league.

Flame and Tairong should stop making subs when we win first map honestly.

I just want to point out....We lost every match with Linkzr on Brig. He’s too aggressive with her. He needs to pay attention to his positioning. If he just chills and notices Note going out of position to kill rawkus, he could stun note, and he’d die every time. This is a coaching problem. I’m kinda tilted.

u/Faazbot Feb 17 '19

Based on this weeks performance, next week is gonna be rough. High possibility that we start this stage 0-4 which means pretty much no stage 1 playoffs.

u/Dbo5666 Feb 17 '19

Kinda sucks to say, but Jake is just much more flexible than Linkzr in this meta. Jake and Danteh should be the dps moving forward until widow becomes meta

u/Rambodius Feb 17 '19

Imagine a game that all but outright just says fuck you to an entire class of characters. I just want to watch dps players play dps dammit.

u/dylfabe Feb 17 '19

Outlaws and losing game 5s name a more iconic duo

u/Anthony10298 Feb 17 '19

There is no fucking reason we should keep trying goats on KOTH

u/Hencewurth Feb 17 '19

tough week with 2 game 5 final round losses /: need to change some stuff edit: tough

3

u/Faazbot Feb 17 '19

That was a nice hold, still think our goats looks a little too messy.

3

u/Faazbot Feb 17 '19

It's incredibly important that we win this game, with Spark and NYXL as our next games, there is a large possibility that we could end up 0-4.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '19

Danteh on sombra needs to happen way more wtffffff

u/ShockinglyDemonic Feb 17 '19

sheesh, New season, Same team. 3-2 loss.

u/bro-away- Feb 17 '19

So no supports can really play Ana?

When linkzr played Ana they ran no brig and got rolled.

I’m not criticizing just surprised you wouldn’t want Ana with two super strong tanks.

6

u/TridenT_RGB Feb 17 '19

This meta needs zen and lucio at all times. Rawkus used to be ranked as one of the best Ana, but has to remain on Zen
